Ok, I'm going to make this quick. Sometimes games get reviewed and leave me scratching my head. This game does not deserve the 9.0 gamespot gave it. Yes the graphics are beautiful, but mostly just in the environments. The character models are terrible looking, even though they are supposed to be cartoony. The game puts blinking arrows on the ground to help tell you where to go, even then I found it lacking direction and confusing. The AI reminds me of an old Xbox game, very boring, and the dialog just stinks....not every game can be perfect, but a 9.0 just doesn't sound right. Maybe an 7.0 or 7.5. When I finished the game....eh...it was like ok...no replay value for me, at least now it's $30. How does a game like this get a 9? Just because it's pretty? Now remember that Half Life 2 for the Xbox got an 8.3 and has great AI, a great story, great weapons and fantastic graphics, it even looks a bit next gen when played through my 360 and HD tv. In fact HL2 is one of the best games I've ever played. 8.3??? Even Halo 1 which is like 6 years old blows this game to shame and is worth playing again instead of this. Sorry.

Perfect Dark Zero is one of my favorite release titles for the XBox 360. The graphics are gorgeous, the main character has personality, and it's a good combo of shooting, stealth and puzzle solving. I've been testing... Read Full Review
At first i wasn't so excited about how perfect dark zero would handle and if it would live up to its predecessor, but i can honestly say that this game is all it should be and possibly the best launch title for the X360... Read Full Review
